Two films for The Hobbit? Invented materials to "fill in the gaps"? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree the Frodo-Faramir bit is bad, and the Two Towers is overdone in places. And Gandalf should not disagree at Last Debate, nor should he counsel Theoden to ride and meet Saruman (in the book he counsels Theoden to go to Helm's Deep as I remember). But overall the movies were good enough. Look at how bad Harry Potter is, after all! What really bugs me is the near-to-final scene. Frodo should not wrestle Gollum at that last bit, he should just topple over the edge. God, that bit bugged me. Although it does help with the Frodo-being-Courageous problem.

Oh yes, and I think someone other than PJ should do the Hobbit movie. He'll just over-do it with battle scenes and love-stories. It was originally for children after all.
